The IF's aligned easily, except for this step where it appears you are expected to get two peaks on either side of the IF freq. That just doesn't  happen, and I'm not sure how it ever would unless I'm misunderstanding the instructions. My interpretation: "adjust signal generator back and forth between 460 and 480, you should get equal 2 signal peaks, one at 465 and one at 475.  If you don't, adjust the primary padder of 94 left and right of peak until you do".  I can wrench on that padder all day long and never get anything other than a single peak at the 470 IF.  Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
